How do we build independent, self-motivated learners?
What does research say about “best practices ”?
Katie Nelson's playful and engaging approach to literacy reflects her deep, deep knowledge of children, her love of music and language, and her understanding of how research supports a meaning-centered and systematic approach to literacy. With great wisdom and delight, Katie and Nellie will share how to organize the environment and implement A Comprehensive Literacy Model.
In just one day, you will learn how to:
 Incorporate “Best Practices”: Name Tickets, Poetry “I Can Read” Folders, Kid Writing, “The Daily Four”, and Literacy Play Centers. See high Common Core State Standards in practice.- Use powerful ABC and Phonics Immersion Strategies with Sign Language: Sing, Sign and Read!
- Set up independent writing and word work centers that differentiate learning.
- Reach high literacy standards for diverse learners.
- Engage children in memorizing, reciting, and performing songs, poems, and rhymes. Parents love to see their children perform. (Enjoy short video clips of the amazing musical performances from Katie’s kindergarten!)
- Give children “Just Right: I Can Read” books to build reading motivation, independence, and stamina.
- Multiply your teaching effectiveness with an organized, supportive “Parents as Partners” Program!
- Use positive discipline and “choice” to develop the “habits of mind” for success in school. Understand why “emotional literacy” matters.
- Use playful, poetic transition activities to take advantage of every teaching moment.
